Algiers – Concerns arose within the Algerian national team camp yesterday following the absence of left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri from training due to a sudden health issue. However, DZWatch can now report that the situation is under control and there is no cause for major alarm.
Initial reports indicated that Ait-Nouri was experiencing mild cold symptoms. As a precautionary measure, the medical staff opted to transport him to a local hospital for thorough medical examinations. Sources close to the team confirmed that this was purely a preventative step to ensure the player’s well-being.
Following the examinations, Ait-Nouri was discharged from the hospital without any complications. The medical team has advised a single day of rest, with the expectation that he will rejoin the team for group training sessions starting tomorrow. This aligns with the planned schedule for the team’s preparations for their upcoming match.
DZWatch understands that Ait-Nouri’s participation in the highly anticipated match against the Democratic Republic of Congo is still expected. The available information strongly suggests that his health is stable, and there is no reason to believe he will be unavailable for selection.
The Algerian national team is currently focused on preparing for this crucial match in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The coaching staff and players are diligently working to ensure optimal physical and mental readiness to secure a positive result.
We will continue to provide updates on Ait-Nouri’s condition as they become available.
